binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and
that mount point is created as a proc_generic directory.

Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl
proc support as it continues the existence of a horrible hack.
So instead simply create the directory as an ordinary sysctl
directory.   At least that removes the magic special case.
